BISHOPRIC OF HARRISBURG.
The Rev. Thomas McGovern Said to Have
Been Selected for the Vacant See.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug 21-Private advices
received in this city from a prominent ecclesi-
astcal dignitary in Rome state that the Sacred
College of the Propaganda has duly considered
the names Of the various candidates for the va
cant see of Harrisburg, and from their number
has selected for the appointment the Rev.
Thomas McGovern, at present rector of st.
Joseph's Church. Danville. Montour county, one
of the principal towns in this diocese.
According to the regular methods of pro-
cedure in such case, the Sacred Congregation
will now submit Father McGovern's name TO the
Holy Father for confirmation. Ordinarily this
is done pro forma, as the Pope accepts the judg-
ment Of the Propaganda final, and declares
his confirmation of the selection. Cases have
been known, however-notably in the late ap
pontment to the Archbishopric of Philadelphia
in which the Pope has referred the matter
back to the Propaganda, declining to appoint
their selection But this happens only in ex-
ceptional cases.
Father McGovern the prospective successor
OF Bishop Shanahan in this see. is native of
the county Cavan. Ireland ard is about fifty
eight years of age. He was educated in the
Ecclesiastical Seminary of St. Charles Bor
romeo. Philadelphia, and was ordained to the
priesthood by the late Bishop Neumann. He
has been pastor of his present mission for over
twenty years, and is highly respected by both
the clergy and laty for his Jealous labors in his
appointed field of duty. He is noted for his
and, in the event of his confirmation as bishop
oy the Pope, will prove worthy successor to
Bishop Shananan, who was generally admitted
TO be the most eloquent pulpit orator among the
Roman Catholic hierarchy.
Since the death of Bishop Shanahan, nearly a
year ago. the conduct of the temporalities of the
diocese has devolved upon the Very Rev
Michael j. Mcbride, who was appointed admin
of the province, the most Rev. Patrick j. Ryan,
of Philadelphia.
